J. B. Newberv, It-12 Pen. Com. Soliloquy of a Horse (Continued) That newspaper man last veek made me say, that at one unday school I heard it said here were about seventy-five hildren deserted by their pa 'ents. I didn't say parents I aid teachers. It is such a com non thing for children to be leserted-by parents at Sunday chool that I neyer would 'have hought of saying anything bout that, but, as a horse sees t, a teacher oight to be asham d to run off to a Sunday picnic .nd have their pupils with no ne to teach them. If the ea)her values the Sunday chool so little, how can they xpect the pupils to think high . of it? Well, after that horse kicked 'Uncle Phil" men folks were a ttle watchful, and so were we orses. We tried to find out ow these people were worship 'ig the being theyT call God. V6e sapeoplekgoing in and out f the -dh'urc7:it si true, bit iost of them did not go in. omie of these Sunday school machers did not go in. They mnst have had a fine time. for 2ey shook hands and laughed, nd the young women kissed ich other, and the young men -anted to; no, no, not kiss each ther, but the young women. [ow do Iknow? I heard Frank 11l Mary so as we went home. Talk about shaking hands! 1ere were several men there 1at just went around hunting p people to shake hands \with, iey yested th6 babies and call I them pretty where their tothers and fathers could hear iem. I think they called these ten who shook hands so much, mndidates. One man would it people on the back and say I'm running for nnt old office gain. I want you to help me.' .nd another would come along ad skake hands with the same allow and say, "I am counting a you to help me keep my of de another term," and -the allow promised one to help him et it, and the other to help him eep it. And we horses wonder I how he could do it. It sound I strange to us. Some wanted be clerk of someth4ling, some anted.to be sheriff of some here, but none wanted to be >roner. We horses concluded 1ere wasn't enough in it. Sonme fellows talked about sing to the legislature, and one ian was there who had already zen. He gave them a "fine >eech" in the church, they tid, but we horses, mules and mkies on the outside couldn't ear anything. "Bob." A Sad Death. On the 22rd of June last the aath angel came to the home Mr. and Mrs.. R. L. Hender >nl and took their little baby, ie light of the home, and left irkness and gloom.. The ther's heart is sore and sad. ad1 the mother hears the veet voice of the little one as ie says come home. God ess this dispensation of his ?ovi!Ienge to the good of those ho are left and all who loved ie little one. E. L. Thomason. eath of Mrs. Hester Austin Clayton. Mrs. Hester .Austin Clayton [ed in a hopital. at Hazel, Ga., st Saturday 13th inst., of ty Lioid fever. She was sick >out haidekim every iing that could be done was navailing. Her remains were :oughit to liberty and laid to sr in the cemetery at that ace last Sunday afternoon. rs. Clayton was a daughter 'Dr. W. F. k~asin of Seneca, >rmierly-of this county, and a ind alih-ter of Mr. and Mrs. F. Hendricks df Liberty. and two children, the youngest being about three months old. At the time of her death she was 21 years old. Roads Need Work, Mr. Editor: Can you tell me whit went with the county scrapes and all the fine ma chinery we read about in The Sentinel not long since? They have not been seen on this side. I sent my children to mill the other day and a wheel dropped in a hole, the axle dragged on the ground and one stirrup was broken off. The road by Mr. George Ellis' got so bad we had t to go.round by Mr. Pick Steph- f ens' to get to town. Mr. Ellis s took his hands and patched it up t so people could pass. I think I we will vote for George when he a runs. He is a good farmer and e knows what a time we poor old c farmers have digging in the j mud, and if we make anything i to sell we have no way to get it 3 to town. 2 I heard a man say he suppos- a ed the roads were so bad they could not pull the machines over 7 them to work, and that he had t not seen them in so long they 1 must have been carried to And- f erson where the roads were ' smoother. e Well. it is work time and the j grass is four inches high. The s crops are the sorriest, the roads c the worst and the governor the c finest I ever saw. Voter. e Children's Day at Peters Creek. t Last Sunday was children's day at Peters Creek. The exer- a cises began at ten o'clock and j continued until in the afternoon a The exercises consisted of songs, T recitations and- declamations. n Each one who took part acquit ed:themseiveswvll and showed c careful training. Rev. W: E. Wilkins. secretary of the La#man' s Missionary Movement was present and er delivered a splendid address. $3 A very large crowd was present 1 and a bountiful dinner wg ~ sers ed on the ground, Prof. R. Mv. B3okting was pres- a ent and delighted the people in with splendid selections of g, music. h Altogether it was a very profi table and enjoyable day. Table Rock Land Company. ri To show that Pickens is not ti altogether asleep a charter has' ir been granted by the Secretary a of State to the Table Rock Land b Company, with a capital of a $10,000. G The corporators are Mr. R. E. te Bruce, of this place, and Hon. a D. W. McLaurin, of Columbia, 19 These gentlemen boughtathe a Table Rock Hotel property wo i or three years ago and since " then have bought other lands in y connection .with it until now they own between 1,000 and ' 1,200 acres, Tie most of this is a mountain land but is covered h with fine timber, which in a h few years will be very valuable G on account of its scarcity. They i have on the property just at the Ci base of Table Rock, an almost el new hotel, partly furnished, but ca which is' now vacant. This is s] an ideal place for the summer s< and the only drawback to it is the inaccessibility to railroads. " Pickens is the nearest point, d which is about ten miles. n It would be a fine -thing for these gentlemen, as well as for o the Carolina Timber Congpany, ~ which owns sever91 thousand 3 acres of land in the mountains of this county, to interest them- h selves in the railroad now being s( agitated by Mr. R. Mayes Cleye- E tand, from Ande-son to Marietta T carry the railroad from Pickens fi to the Oolenoy thenoo to viarl- o: etta. This would put them 1k within two nmiles of a railroad and would bhe the' thing all this s4 county needs. _ y An Exchange of Compliments? t, "'They've had detectives of all b sorts trying to find something h ufn me.

R last Saturday about1 o'clock caused the death of one man and injured three others at Eas ley. Two engines coupled to Zether with one bo? car and a :aboose in charge of two engi aeers, two fireman and a con luctor were going toward At anta to get the congested fruit ,rains north.

The engineer of the first ngine reversed his lever, threw n the emergency brake and umped, sustaining no serious ajurv. the ,engine ran 150 ards on the cross ties before topping, tearing up the track s it went. The second engine ran some 5 yards then broke loose from he leader and turned complete r turtle, both engineer and' renian falling underneath. 'he former was fortunate nough to sustain but slight in iries but escaping steam badly ralded Fireman Byrd before he ould extricate himself and rawl out of the wreckage. The ngineer eot free unassisted. 'he engine fell to the left of the ack but the box car 'went to ie right. - Trainmen who sustained ight injuries were Engin'-ers E Medlin and R.

Fortunately he dll in a ditch and this saved [im from being crushed. The negro fireman on the first ' gine, Tom Sinkfleld of Lata, C. was badly injured and car ed to Greenville on the special ain with Fireman Byrd. His juries consist of seions gash i the head and several bad tuises. Dr. Wyatt of Easley .omnpanied the injured men to reenville where they were 6(e sken in charge by Dr's. T. T.|R 3d C. B.

A wrecking train left|A reenville immediately after T e report of the mishap was re-|R ~ived and the track was clear-|E I with all expendition.

In the wreck he had one of his i ands caught and fastened in 'a me way so tightly he could y of extricate it until the hot t< atir and steam scalded the tl esh to the extent that it cam~e mm T and he pulled his hand out h aving the flesh and nails. ci After he had in this way te cutred his release he got off his 'igine and walked about 200 ards to the Pickens train and ~as carried back to Easley for eatment. He was scalled and airned from his mouth to his f~ eels, and so badly that his flesh b ad skin would peel off and o ave the muscles of his body n il exposed to view, He was i mnscious~ all the while and all iat medical aid could do was navalling.
